SCIpharm 2006 – Poster Submissions Open

The event, (14-17 May 2006 – Edinburgh International Conference Centre), covers all aspects of modern R&D: Gene to Screen, Screen to Candidate, Candidate to Drug, and a session on Where Science Meets Business. Please visit www.scipharm.info to download the brochure and view the speaker line-up.

SCIpharm 2006 will feature an extensive poster session integrated within the exhibition and presentations areas where all official breaks will take place. Delegates are invited to submit posters.

These should focus on new scientific or technical knowledge relevant to drug discovery and development, but should avoid promotional material. They may be submitted by both public and private sector researchers and submissions from smaller enterprises are especially encouraged.

Companies wishing to present more than one poster may submit one per attendee and these may be situated on adjacent boards. Poster sessions will take place on Monday and Tuesday evenings directly after close of the main sessions and will be accompanied by drinks.
